After 8 years the windows service pack is again creating some serious trouble. The first major service pack trouble was in 2000. PCs running over 350Mhz of speed crashed and caused irreparable damage to the CPUs after a service pack install. This time its the windows XP service pack 3, which is causing all the trouble and the trouble is all for AMD machines.

The troubles are seeing on machines sold by HP. After the service pack install the machines are continuously rebooting and not allowing the users to enter safe mode. Microsoft has discovered the reason for this and says its a mistake committed by HP. The troubles are caused by a driver for power management.

In machines supplied by HP the windows image used on both intel and AMD machines are the same. This causes to install intel power management driver for AMD machines also. Installing the service pack will unleash theĀ  trouble of AMD machines.
